Living passion of Christ

his is a demonstration during Holy

Week for Bocon Cultural
Foundation for over 20 years.
In this way of pray, fifteen
stations represent the most
significant events of Christ's
journey to Calvary.
These representations have
achieved much religious and

tourist value in many states of

the country. In Tosts living
passion of Christ begins on
Ash Wednesday, when an actor that characterizes Jesus of
Nazareth on a donkey down
the street leading to the
church, accompanied by his
twelve apostles who represent
Christ fell twelve times carrying the cross; and scenarios as

the palace of Pilate, Herod

and the Mount of Olives are
prepared. It is then staged the
Sermon of the Seven Words,
with the last words spoken by
Christ. People who represent
the history are popular actors
and locals. The costume fits
the era and is made according
to biblical references.
